Consulate Endorsement Facilitation (CEF) Services |
Application procedures for consulate endorsement are not always straightforward. Traders not having enough experience or the latest information may have their applications rejected for amendment. To complete an application, one may have to visit the consulate office several times. It is not only time-consuming and costly, it may even cause delay in customs clearance and bank payment of your exports.
|
Convenient |
|
Applications can be made by post or in person to any one of our seven branches. Traders need not visit consulate office themselves. The service is applicable mostly for shipments to the Middle East, South America and Asia. |
| |
|
Speedy and Accurate |
|
Our experienced staff will proof-read your applications to ensure accuracy and compliance with the latest consulate requirements. Our own staff will hand deliver and collect applications to and from consulates to ensure safety and speediness of document handling. We may complete the CEF process in as few as two working days. |
